By sheer coincidence, the dams of both of my first horses, Buddy, Best Ever Saddlebred and my mare, were in this volume.  Vanity's Virginia was on page 159 and Cacho Kate was on page 160 and just five registration numbers apart.  My husband's first broodmare was also foaled in 1958, but didn't appear in this volume since she was registered the following year.
